MyBB Community Forums

Once in the past I used Installatron to install an instance of MyBB, but making custom changes was not always successful. It seemed that folder and file permissions were problematic. I solved that by installing a new instance manually, and the same way I've done it ever since that time. Perhaps Softaculous does something similar.

If I look at my server's raw access files I can see details of each transaction. I'd start by looking to see if the initial http request returned a 200, and how many bytes were sent from where.

For example:

45.17.194.40 - - [18/Nov/2022:05:16:00 -0700] "GET /forum/index.php HTTP/2.0" 200 9472 "https://mydomain.com/forum/index.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0"

Key clue here is 200 9472, which means success sending 9472 bytes.

[ETA]
Is your site http or https? If it's supposed to be secure, you may be having problems with htaccess rules.

Its http, not secured actually

All the installer does is create the database tables, so if you take a backup, re-install and then import the backup, you'll have the exact sam forum you start with. If you edited a file, all you should need to do is upload a fresh copy of it, and make sure it has overwritten the current file.

But i had done that, it doesnt change the problem
